I'm going nuts trying to decide which springs to go with ...
I have heard so many mixed reviews on both ...

Tein H: I can't really go with the S Techs although I would love to ... however, due to the fact that I wanna maintain daily drivability without clearence issues I think I would have to go with H-Techs ...

I've heard people say the H-Techs don't handle as well and the high techs were made for luxury cars ... along with other things ...

Tanabe: it seems to be more of a level drop but the car needs to be aligned due to toe in issues ...

I just wanna know the pros and cons of both choices so I can make a good decision on what to get for max performance...

Please people with Tanabe's or Teins-H give me some feedback to decide ...

Thanks.

 

no one ?

 

I said neither..

Just save up for a set of coilovers.

Its night and day compare w/ the traditional spring/strut setup.

 

I don't think every evo owner have $1500+ lay around for coilover.....lot's of ppl use drop spring and happy with the result.

I have tanabe....i like it. It didn't lower the car too much, at least I have no problem in the NY's rally style road.

you need to do an alignment with either one of the spring.

 

I'm real happy with the Tanabe's, and like he ^^^ said any drop of the car will require re-alignment.

 

I have the Tein S-Tech's. Very pleased with them. Have had no clearance
issues. Can easly get in and out of my driveway (was not able to do that
with my lowered Civic). I am however very careful and alert when driving too.

 

I say Tanabe since they are not as low in front as the Teins are. I have some issues scraping now. The ride is similar to stock, but I think turns are more fun now. Just make sure to get a good alignment done asap with either choice.

 

i like my tein-s, no clearance issue i was able to get on the rack when i was doing my alignment at mercedes dealer, the car is not that low, looks sweet, handles better then stock... later.

 

I'm slightly leaning towards the Tanabe's now due to the fact that I have to park my car everyday on a 3 story garage ...

anyone got the numbers for alignment for the tanabe's and the tein's ?

thanks for the input guys ...

 

anyone with Tanabe's got pics btw ? thanks ...

 

Here's a shot with the Tanabe's, As for alignment numbers, you can do anything from stock to a full track setup it just depends on how you use your car.

GN+ and Tanabe GF210's

 

nice car, 992.....i think i would like the springs more if the springs maintained an equal distance from the top of the tire to the fender equally between the rear and the front....

 

I think the Tein H has a even drop front and rear ... as for the Tein S it kinda slopes downward a little bit ...

 

how bout in terms of performance which do u guys think perform better ? tein S or the tanabe's ?

 

Tanabe's are the best,they are stiffer then stock so its a rougher ride...

Plus I like the equal gap it leaves front to back...
